14 Things Your Articulate Software Can Do!

The Articulate learning management system software is an involved, detailed, professional-level program. If you are just starting out with it, it is easy not to see the forest of your e-learning program for the thousands of trees of functionality in the Articulate software. Today we help you visualise the end result, by going through 10 ways that your Articulate software can create end learning objects.

1. Design Your Own …
Just about everything can be redesigned to suit your organisation in Articulate software. Naturally, presentations are highly customisable, but quizzes can also be custom-designed, as can the appearance of interactive objects.
2. Integrate with Websites
Most objects that you can create through Articulate training are in Flash, and so are highly portable and accessible to users everywhere.
3. Embed Live Web Pages
Want to use content from other parts of the net in your presentations, quizzes or interactive elements? Articulate lets you embed live web pages in the learning objects you create.
4. Publish to Multiple Formats
Many objects you create in Articulate software can be published not only to Flash format, but to Word, podcast or CD also.

5. Integrate with Other LMSs
Ads by Google
If your organisation sues Moodle, Blackboard or any of a dozen different learning management systems, Articulate can publish content to it.
6. Still Use Powerpoint
You don't have to learn a whole new system for creating presentations to be able to use the Presenter part of your Articulate software. It simply converts Powerpoint presentations into Flash presentations for portability.
7. Narrate Your Slides
You can deliver the content from slides in your own voice with Articulate Presenter, adding explanation and colour to the presentation even if you can't be there in person.
8. Import Videos
Existing videos are extremely easy to import to almost any learning object you can produce with Articulate software.
9. Play Music or Sound
MP3 and WAV files can be easily imported to just about any part of any Articulate product also!
10. Quiz in Non-Standard Question Formats
Most LMSs allow you to design quizzes with Likert scales, multiple choice options and true/false answers. Articulate Quizmaker also lets you ask hotspot questions, have students give answers in drag-and-drop form, or any one of over 20 possible question formats!
11. Randomise quiz questions
Articulate software allows you to randomise the exact questions displayed, yet keep together questions which belong together.
12. Auto-Score Quizzes
You can not only auto-score quizzes developed with Articulate Quizmaker, but also give specific results and feedback related to their individual scores.
13. Branch Your Information
Learning is an individual journey and not everybody takes the same path. Articulate software allows you to cater to individual learning styles, with branching options inpresentations as well asquizzes.
Let Your Learners Have Input
Articulate's Engage software doesexactly what it says on the label – engages your learners with the material! Your students can label diagrams, organise events on timelines and proceed through the material at a pace that suits them. In fact, the flexibility of the Flash tool pretty much means that if you can imagine the interaction type, it can be created.
